O'rama... any chance you could get us a definitive answer if there will or will not be anymore 28nm?

That would be nice to know. If KNC breaks their network protection statement some of us might go for a USD Neptune refund.
Nothing to be broken in the statement... other companies are delivering......

Where?

Is that a list of delivered miners? Doesn't look like it.

Anyway, I have nothing else to add but do feel free to show me better.

Have a great 2014!

CoinTerra is pretty close, prolly shipping within 2-4 weeks?

OK, for me delivering in 2 weeks (TM) is not delivering. This is a time sensitive market. 2 weeks != delivered.

BUT-
There are about a thousand people scratching their heads wondering about the Possible Jupiter grab...
and it would be helpful to know... although I suspect it's a plan to keep things hushed up a bit as to not cause a rush on refunds, and a frenzy on Jupiter day....  I think we deserve to know what basket we need to have our cookies in... I mean, we were warned to keep some BTC handy....  ?

er kinda off topic I guess kill it if you need to but thought it was funny newegg is selling scrypt miner kits?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1518346

would be kinda interesting if knc ever did anything with this ..heh ...why shake up just bitcoin world

Searing


they wouldn't be first now..

http://www.ciol.com/ciol/news/205319/alpha-announces-litecoin-asic-miner

https://alpha-t.net/

interesting refund policy...  at least they are upfront about it
Their pricing scheme is a bit deceptive:

Viper (Scrypt) Miner (25Mh/s)

£1,635

30% Deposit Required: £1635.

Total price: £5450. Remainder will need to be paid 8-10 weeks before shipment. Shipment will be extra, which shall be notified during final payment.

That's about $10K total cost. I think it's too much.

Litecoin miners are not cheap to produce.

There is little saving in the way of hardware cost to graphics card, the saving is in the power consumption and heat, and the amount of hashrate a household can feasibly sustain if you want to max the circuit...

Why are people asking for refunds on Neptunes?

Because they got robbed. And some are pretty pissed they had to shell out $13k and then they listed them for $10k to everyone.
Your version of robbed is very strange. Knc has said that the new price was for a later batch. This has been explained a dozen times already.
friendly jibe first....
Yeah, sounds like a couple folks had a bit too much egg-nog. I's just too hard for me to believe someone could be that stupid.
I think he was kidding....  burbon or something....  lol

Why don't people read?    ...sry.....no coffee yet....
We were duped into thinking there was going to be another Jupiter run!
Looks as if they may have changed their mind.

Personally I took a schellacking on the Bitpay, waiting until btc was over a grand on MtGox then later that day buying but getting a $984 or so price on the btc while the slope was up the entire time, and that for the $13,200.20.  But still the ~$984 was a good btc value compared to $700 or $800/btc.  So, I'm not feeling upset.

That drop back to $9995 makes me wonder if KnC, their ear to the ground and having access to info at the chip manufacturer level which might include gossip between chip manufacturers, could possibly think there's a lot more coming down the pipeline a month after batch 1 has shipped, much more than they had earlier figured.

Remember back when we were waiting for production testing to begin.  There was a delay with KnC but the network hashrate showed a sharp increase that would have been hidden by KnC's hash.  Like someone tried to slip some major hashing by.  So, nobody knows everything that's going on out there.

Happy New Year everyone, and KnC staff especially!

Godt Nytt År!

Good bye, the Year of Jupiter and Saturn!

Here is to the Year of Neptune!  Grin

Being a Swedish company, I felt that KnC would come through with the 28nm technology (and Bitcoinarama's research only reinforced my positive feel back then. Thank you, Bitcoinorama.)

Now, I have an equally strong belief that KnC will deliver on their 20nm venture, and my bet on that are BTC11 that I paid towards 1 Neptune in the early batch.

2014 promises to be even more interesting than 2013. Wink
